Modern cabin w/ gas fireplace; peace + privacy in the woods, pet-friendly

Nature lovers -- welcome! Grafton NH is a refreshingly 'off-the-beaten-path' area in the western NH countryside (just south of the White Mountains) where you'll be able to experience the *real New Hampshire* without traffic or tourists. Nestled in the foothills of Cardigan & Ragged Mountains; there are endless outdoor activities nearby. Within 15 mins you can check out quite a few local things to do, and within a 30 min drive you'll find more restaurants, hiking, skiing, and fun day trips (detailed list of recommendations can be found at the bottom of this description to help with trip planning).

A mile down our dirt road, past the neighborhood pond, tucked back down our long driveway... you'll arrive at our little cabin nestled on 1.3 wooded acres; offering ultimate peace & privacy. And with flat in-roads and a flat driveway, you'll have easy access no matter the winter conditions (no steep mountain roads!).

For those looking for a restful retreat, quiet evenings around a fire, yard space & woods to play or lounge, and a hidden pond/beach for swimming/paddling/picnics -- you've discovered it! We also have high-speed fiberoptic wifi, so you can work productively by day if you need to.

Enjoy peace & privacy; the cabin is set back from the road and surrounded by yard space & tall trees... and we even have perennial gardens, so you can enjoy seasonal blooms, and watch the bumblebees & butterflies. You can barely see neighboring homes at a distance when the leaves have fallen; from May-Oct you'll be completely enveloped by the surrounding woodland trees & shrubs.

The WildeWoods Cabin is a sunny open-concept cabin with cathedral knotty pine ceilings & exposed beams; renovated with comfortable furnishings, modern amenities, vintage décor & a gas fireplace (on/off switch!).

We are also pet-friendly (just please include your pets in your booking request to automatically apply the $60 pet fee).
